Crabby I just love your recipes. I make this several times a year. I Originally gave you 4 stars but I discovered that the choice of dressing makes a big difference. Do not waist your time on Kraft.. it is too oily. Olimpia Dukacus is great, if you can't find it, look for a better priced vinigarette.

This is a very good cold salad. The real secret I think is to make it a day ahead of time. It was really better the next day after the flavors had a chance to meld

I made this last night to serve with some baked salmon for dinner. Very good!! Loved the orzo pasta for a change from regular shell or elbow pasta. I used good seasons italian dressing that I make into a vinigrette (they have a recipe on their side box) and left out the yellow pepper as I didn't have one. I will make again. Pam

After the first bite of this salad, I was completely hooked! The flavors blend perfectly together, and it just gets better the longer it sits in the fridge! I left out the feta to keep the salad lower fat, but I used Girard's Greek Feta Vinaigrette dressing and that added some of the flavor back in. Served with Garlicky Chicken or Pork Souvlaki with great results! I will absolutely be making this again over the summer. Thanks so much for this wonderful idea!

Love this, here are my suggestions, I used Girard's Light Champagne Dressing (YUM) and I freeze the feta block while cooking the pasta and prepping the veggies, then when I have cooled the orzo and am ready to add the rest, I finely grate the feta. That way I get it past those who think they don't like Feta or maybe just find it to bold in lumps. Anyway, LOVE IT!

Oh Wow, this is so-o-o good! I used Kittencal's Greek salad dressing and didn't have any cucumbers, but had everything else. I am letting it meld in the refrigerator until lunch and then I will dig in, but tasted it right after mixing it together and it is very good. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

Fantastsic recipe. I will make this again and again. Even hubby loved it and he's not a fan of a lot of mixed flavors.

This is fabulous! The only change i made was using chopped red onion instead of the scallion.. Delicious!

Since first trying this, I have made it several times, and it is one of my boyfriend's favorite things to pack for lunch! I make it exactly as written, although I use the herb-and-garlic feta. Thanks for posting this keeper! Made for All New Zaar Tag Game.
